In present research geometric thinking test developed by Ulsiskin (1982) has been employed to detect geometric thinking levels of students. In determining algebraic thinking levels of students algebraic thinking test developed by Altun (2005) was used. The participants of the study consist of 515 students from eight different schools in Diyarbakır city center. According to the results obtained from the study, it is determined that 8th grade students focus level-1 (visual level) in terms of geometric thinking levels. During the research it was found that, students focus level-0 in terms of algebraic thinking levels. In this research it has also been pointed out that positive, moderate and significant relationship between geometrical and algebraic thinking levels of students.
